THREE DAYS!

Holy moly I am three days from closing on my first home!  The closing documents were sent through today, so I should be signing tomorrow or Thursday... The thought of being a homeowner is both exciting and terrifying for me...

I've definitely started to realize that Barkley and Mia are going to go through quite an adjustment, especially being without my parents' dogs!  I have a feeling this is going to cause a handful of sleepless nights due to some canine anxiety...

I have also realized that I am about to drop an obscene amount of cash in the next month; however, I am quite the bargain shopper, and have already saved myself a good chunk of money!  Let's not forget the 30% off total purchase at Bed, Bath and Beyond back in November, the dining room table on sale at Fry's Marketplace, and more recently 30% off total purchase at Kohl's that led to some beautiful Food Network serving dishes.  Additionally over this weekend, I racked up more super savings when I "purchased" a 16-piece glassware set from Food Network (also at Kohl's) for nothing! Yep, that's right, I got them for free thanks to some Kohl's cash and what I'm assuming was a register malfunction; nevertheless I ran out of the store with drink-ware in hand and never looked back...

Also on the list, a Groupon to Mattress Firm that I paid $50 for and got a $200 credit!  The best part is that they price match with their competitors, even up to 100 days after purchase!  Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

DAY TWENTY-FOUR: a picture of something you wish you could change...

I wish my dad could find a job... luckily my parents are fortunate that they are financially savvy, but two jobs is always better than one
